Estée Lauder’s lipstick brand MAC is proof that fashion can come with principles

Rockefeller Plaza was heaving last Thursday night as families and tourists
crowded the New York landmark to take pictures of the recently illuminated
Christmas tree.

A few blocks away on Fifth Avenue, party season was in full swing, with a snow
machine dropping fake flakes above the Tommy Hilfiger store and the
billionaire Leonard Lauder hosting his own celebration a few doors up the
road. The son of Estée Lauder proclaimed New York to be the greatest city in
the world (hurricanes aside) and the great and good of the beauty industry
celebrated by drinking his champagne.
